@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, Darlene, I am glad you ask your pharmacist and that he answers you. I have asked pharmacists, some seem
bothered that I would even ask and then gave me wrong information. I still believe that one should read all about the medicines they have been prescribed and read for yourself if any contraindications etc apply to you.
